Username joybedford Dont know what my starting weight was sorry. Think it was 198.7 Today's weight 197.3 Sorry for delay.

Hi i am in team RH i will add you.

I am currently doing the plan. My main reason for doing it is i went vegetarian but had no idea what to eat in a healthy way and made myself ill. There is no way i can go back to eating meat so i joined his veggie plan to give me some healthy veggie recipes and its done just that. Although i am struggling with the exercise…

I personally prefer my zoodles crunchy I barely cook them at all.

I started keto at midnight on the 27th (I was on a nighshift). I'm doing this partly to lose weight, need to lose about 35lbs. I also have fibromyalgia and I've read research that keto might help. So far so good and I'm enjoying food so far. I am a mum of 3 and 3 fur babies (dog, rabbit, gerbil). I work fulltime as a…

You can do this. Its hard to take care of yourself when there is so much happening. Someone once gave me a tip she said "the mother holds the family together if she doesn't look after herself and goes under who looks after everyone else". She said this when my twins were tiny babies, my oldest son is severely autistic and…

My daughter takes pasta to school in a thermos it's still warm at lunchtime but she doesn't mind cold pasta.

I tend to take salads, Greek yoghurt fruit, leftovers. I'm lucky my clinics are in a children's centre and We have a microwave. Protein bars are a good option as they can be eaten on the run I also always have a protein shake available. If I'm running late in the morning I make my poridge throw it in a container by the…

I'm in the same position I'm a community midwife and often stay late to work. On top of this I have 3 children with special needs. My daughter and I dance 4 days a week so that's exercise there but I lift weights also and it's difficult to find time to do that. I really miss running but I don't have time. We also have a…

Hi I have 3 children. Marcus is 21 and has autism. My twins are 13 Piers has ADHD and asperger syndrome. Lydia has hypermobility syndrome and osgood schlatters disorder. I myself have fibromyalgia. As you can imagine my life is pretty chaotic. I also work fulltime as a midwife. Anyone can add me as a friend.

People should mind their own business. How rude I'm furious for you. Your hardly huge at that height and weight anyway. My grandmother always said if you have nothing nice to say don't say it. I'm the same height as you and 10lbs heavier. I 've gained a lot recently due to fibromyalgia so I get where your coming from. If…

Is it too late for me to join. I can add last week's Weight.

Hi I'm Joy mum of 3 I almost got to target then became ill (fibromyalgia) and regained some. I'm now back on track and would love to support you.

Hi I too have fibromyalgia I never felt better than when I was paleo but I gave it up as my husband doesn't believe in "fad diets" as be calls them and was giving me a hard time. I am now heavier than ever depressed and struggling with fibromyalgia. I keep saying I'm going to start again but never get around to it. It…

Hi Michael I'm Joy I'm the mother of 3 2 diagnosed with ASD and 1 with ADHD also but my daughter also has aspergers although undiagnosed. I am not a single parent but I do all the children's hospital appointments/therapy appointments alone as my husband finds it difficult. I am sorry to hear of the abuse you suffered and…

Hi I have 2 boys with autism and 1 also has ADHD. I have always spoke to them very openly and honestly about there autism they deserve to know and it helps them understand their problems. Marcus was non verbal till he was 6 and very withdrawn classically autistic if you like he's now 21 and in mainstream college. He…

Hi sorry I've been missing in action but I've had the flu only just beginning to surface and still not well at all. I'll try my best this week but I can't workout only walk my dog for short periods of time. I don't even know what the challenges are this week I've not been well enough to look.

I've done lots of exercise but had a really busy week. I will enter it all on the sheet just going to read to my daughter.

I'm in the Harry Potter challenge too and the game of thrones challenge I do like a challenge. I finished the step challenge but I don't think I can complete the snack challenge. We are on holiday so having a glass of wine at night I assume that counts as a snack. I'll do the dance challenge when I get home Sunday no room…

I have lost access to the spreadsheets and can't update, I will message missionenforcer. I'm on holiday so not officially working out but doing loads of walking. It's also hilly where I am in the Lake District. The wifi here isn't great so I've struggled to keep up with you all sorry.

Hi guys I started really well but have been on nights since Wednesday and my oldest son is ill so only walked my dog the last 3 days. I'm on holiday next week but we are taking remus (the dog) so still lots of walking. Loved this first week I think I am friends with everyone now and done all the challenges. Here's to a…

@MissionEnforcer this is the description of where I live. I live in Doncaster South Yorkshire in the UK. Doncaster is very diverse, it is an ex coal mining community but the mines closed a long time so there is a lot of deprivation in some areas and a lot of unemployment. I am very lucky in that I live in quite a rural…

@MissionEnforcer I do a poundfit class tonight which is exercise with drumsticks am I Ok to use that for the challenge it's a 1 hour long class. I drink loads of water anyway so that shouldnt be a challenge for me. I just need to work out if I still need to friend anyone. Walked the dog today already, will take him on…

Hi again I thought I should do a proper introduction as most people in this team I am not currently friends with. My name is Joy I'm 45 and live in the UK. I am married to Miles and mum of 3 Marcus 20 and twins Piers and Lydia 12. Marcus and Piers have autism and Piers ADHD also. I work fulltime as a midwife. I have a…

Team 3 all the way. Nothing like friendly competition.

Hi I'm Joy this is my first time in this challenge and I can't wait to get started. I have a big dog who needs walking twice a day and workout most days so my numbers tend to be high. I'm on holiday next week but we are taking the dog and will have WiFi so I will still be participating but my numbers will be lower next…

I'm going to try 50 miles just returning to running so hopefully can do this.

My first time but I like a good challenge.

I'm from Doncaster south yorkshire. Recently fell off the wagon (illness/holiday) but back at it and very active on here.

My initial aha moment was when my son who has ADHD ran away from me and almost got hit by a car. I was too overweight and unfit to catch him. I went on to lose 28lbs and became superfit. Unfortunately I developed fibromyalgia 3 years ago and recently had a major flare which put me in hospital. Since then I have been too…
